Chapter 191: Chapter 125 Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden_2

Translator: 549690339

No one would have thought that a medicine garden in a secret realm was built on the top of a giant tree, complete with a mountain and running waters. The capabilities of cultivators were indeed astounding.

While the giant tree’s branches and leaves could stretch over a few kilometers, the garden atop the tree wasn’t that large. It was even smaller than the two gardens in the central area of the Wood Element zone.

On the treetop, there was a small clearing for cultivators to rest their feet. Directly in front, there was a medicine garden flourishing with precious spiritual grasses. Although protected by a formation, it wasn’t hidden away and could be clearly seen from the outside.

Lin Yi glanced around. Apart from the medicine garden, there was also a small thatched cottage, a stone table, and a few benches. The surroundings were straightforward and modest.

In Peach Blossom Valley, he found the same setup. He had also tried to enter the cottage and garden before he left, but they were both protected by formations.

He discovered that cultivators didn’t aspire much when it came to accommodation. As long as there was abundant spiritual energy, a simple cave or a thatched hut would suffice.

After all, cultivators primarily focused on cultivation, and fancy buildings had no contribution to the improvement of their cultivation levels. The time spent on such things would be better used in honing their spells.

However, as Lin Yi looked around, he couldn’t find any trace of the spirit beast that supposedly guarded this garden. According to the Secret Realm Manual, there were three spirit beasts that alternately provided protection in this Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

Since the secret realm is opened every ten to twenty years, no one knows the rotation schedule of the beasts. As per previous records, the last time it was a Spirit Ape. Apart from the ape, there is a Giant Python and a White Deer.

When it’s the turn of one, it would guard the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, and the others would retreat into the secret realm for cultivation.

Senior members inside the Liu Yun Sect speculated that after the Spirit Ape, the Giant Python would likely be next. Lin Yi wondered whether this python might have any connection with the one he encountered in the Misty Forest Gorge or potentially be the same creature.

If the guardian was the Spirit Ape or White Deer, there wouldn’t be much to worry about. However, the Giant Python represented a primal fear of humans, and just thinking about its long, smooth body made one shudder.

Finding no signs of the guardian beast, Lin Yi tried to enter the medicine garden but was stopped by the formation. It wasn’t an illusion-like trial formation but simply an impassable barrier.

If it were an illusion-type formation, he could use the Minor Blessing State to possibly find the right path by chance even if walking randomly.

Before coming to the secret realm, Lin Yi had thought of some remedies. As he progressed through the realm, he came up with another one.

Now, he had four methods to try. Some were title effects, while others were results of his cultivation techniques.

The first method was the instant teleport effect that came along with the [Meaningless Fight and Kill] title. It had a 7% chance of activation, but the downside was the landing spot would be random.

However, if he entered the Minor Blessing State and controlled his height and distance accurately, he might be able to teleport into the medicine garden.

If the garden were on the ground, it would naturally be more accessible. For now, to make a successful attempt, he would have to maintain the same height as the medicine garden; otherwise, he might crash into the tree.

During his attempts, he discovered that instant teleport wouldn’t place him in a life-threatening environment.

For instance, it never teleported him into rocks to be crushed to death, or within tree trunks to be immobilized.

The second method involved using the [Burst Out] title that came with the [Little But Enduring, Big Scheme] title. It could negate any limitation from the Golden Core Realm.

His inability to enter the formation could be considered a limitation.

This method would depend on whether the power of the formation exceeded the Golden Core Realm.

The third method was the safest and most reliable. Using the accrued Enlightenment effect from the [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] title, he could research how to disable or enter the formation. Any formation surely had a way of being broken.

He could slowly discover the way to destroy it by continuously enhancing his Enlightenment. However, such a process would take time. He had spent approximately ten days since he entered the secret realm, and whether he would find the method to enter in the remaining twenty was still uncertain.

The fourth method was utilizing the Divine Shadow Dharma. This mystical technique could cast an illusory shadow onto a real one, confusing the enemy.

The only downside was Lin Yi mastered it only until the second level, which only allowed him to cast illusions and couldn’t solidify his shadow into a tangible form.

However, he could try to cast his shadow into the formation from a close distance and let the illusion infiltrate it. He could control the illusion’s actions to a certain extent.

Even though it was just an illusion, after reaching the second level, it was almost identical to a real person. Since it was formed from spiritual power, it could theoretically pick up spiritual grass.

Lin Yi pondered and decided to start with the second method and see if the powerful [Burst Out] title could negate the formation’s limiting effect.

As he looked around and didn’t find any trace of spirit beasts, he brushed himself against the barrier of the formation and put on the [Burst Out] title, entering a state of frenzy..
